Hypnotic, vivid and unputdownable, Sally Emerson’s novel about two erratic adolescents pulsates with lust and black humour. Tessa, Fire Child’s dark heroine is only thirteen when she discovers that she can drive men mad with love - and to their death. Martin is a reclusive pyromaniac and he’s looking for the one woman who can unleash his demonic desires. When they meet, everything changes. Their union is obsessional and devastating. Unfurling in a series of compelling diary entries, Fire Child masterfully examines the nature of evil and what it means to be human. Sally Emerson’s blazing love story throbs with lust and black humour. Newly re-issued as part of a series of six titles by Quadrant Books.’A taut, beautifully-constructed story moving simply but inexorably towards its cataclysmic ending’ Sunday Times’A book that can be read as a comedy of modern manners, a love story or murder mystery - a rare achievement’ Times Literary Review’With the narrative grip of Stephen King, Emerson’s skill is in charging this novel with compulsiveness and foreboding’ The Independent’Told with power and skill. Sally Emerson has a talent for terror of the best kind, she understands obsession and hints chillingly at evil’ Daily Telegraph’Sally Emerson writes like a dangerous angel’ Douglas Adams
